MODERN church work, /" very wisely
remarks an exchange, 'has too much
wastage; so many cumbersome meth
DDS which did not belong to original
operations, which hide or destroy the
spiritual. We need to narrow our meth
DDS, trim them down to the direct and
simple. We are too oblique to be in
tense; we advance by circumlocution
rather than direct and open means.
If money is to be raised, all kinds of
novel methods are invented. The mon
ey may be raised, but the waste is great
principles have been obscured or vio-
lated, the money has come, but not
sanctifed by the prayer of faith !;
through unsanctifed and frivolous chan
nels it has come. If young people are
to be attracted to and held in the church,
the methods have no saving efficacy"

occupy his five minutes topic
was worthy of more discussion. Mr..
Alcott accepted, and to the point of
showing that his paper did not deny the
transcendence of God, while affirming
the divine immanence. He is above all,
believed in Paul. DIR. Cantwell re-
marked that Rufus Choate once said at
an opera, where he was in doubt about
the music: interpret the libretto, my
dear, lest 1 dilate with the wrong emo
tion." He thought the Institute was
in similar position-in danger of d.
lating under the wrong emotions in re-
gard to the papers of the preceding day.
DR.. Rexford's Clement of Alexan-
dria," and DR.. Cantwell's "Trend of
Current Theological Thought" in the
operation of the vote above stated, were
not discussed.
The following hour was devoted to
Evolutionary exercises under the charge
Of Mrs. Noble. Hymn reading was the
special exercise.
In the evening at s, Rev. DIR. Cone,
of Akron, o., addressed the Institute
on
"Jesus and the Messianic Prophecies"
The paper dwelt upon the Messianic
prophecies in general rather than fol-
lowing the exact lines of the subject.
The Hebrew idea was the elevation of
humanity through the embodiment of
their national ideal, who was a king of
their royal line. The prophecies did
not specifically predict personal Mes
siah. The speaker traversed the various
prophets and showed how the convic-
ton of each one, as to this general
event, was modified by the special con-
dition of the nation at the time of pro-
phecy. Referring to the New Tesla.
ment quotations of the Old Testament,
DIR. Cone held that they were used by the
writers in way of argument, and some
times were not germane to the topic
under discussion. He regarded it as I'M
fortunate that these writer's made Their
quotations from the imperfect Septua.
gint version. But he held that Jesus
fulfilled these prophecies in a higher
sense than they were originally intend.
ed; so these Hebrew prophecies were
unconscious prophecies of him. The
paper was highly critical, and no alb
stract which we can here attempt
would be successful in presenting its
positions in satisfactory manner.

Somebody has said that it is Just al

Somebody has said that it is just as
easy to use ritual of worship without
faith as with. This is melancholy truth;
but it need not be confined to worship by
ritual. Undoubtedly it is more easy for
a ritualist than for Quaker to exhibit
the form Of goodness without the power
thereof; but it is sufficiently easy to do it
under all forms, or in the absence of all.
No mode of worship insures against self
delusion and hypocrisy. Some are bet
ter than others, because freer of tempta-
tons to sloth and filter incentives to the
spirit; but any one may become snare
to the soul. LIMA.

''APURELY negative religion, f" main
tains writer in the Catholic Review,
"is impossible. You must have some
thing positive. In fact, you may be
just as dogmatic in insisting upon
negative as in the assertion of positive
truths" 1t is we'll to bear this truth
for so we regard it-clearly in mind.
1t is not negations that adds strength
to any religious enterprise. The foun-
dations must be laid in deep, positive
and clearsighted affirmations.

THE reports of recent Easter SER
vices in our churches, as published this
week, may not afford in form much va
riety, but they are encouraging never
theless. The observance of the great
day of Christianity is growing more and
more general every year, and is leading
to higher order of church work. So
far as reported, the Church Of the Re-
deemer in Chicago, and the Church of
the Redeemer in Minneapolis, reaped
the richest harvest of additions to the
membership.

THE corner stone of the new st.
Paul's will be laid with interesting
ceremonies, on Sunday, April "a, at 4
P. NJ. The walls of the new edifice are
already rising, and the Sunday-school
building is enclosed. With no unfore-
seen obstacles to confront, it is expect
ed that the new church will be COM
pleted early in the coming Autumn.
The church is located on Prairie avenue,
near Thirtieth street. The estimated
cost of the building and furnishings is
in the neighborhood Of 81 100000.

THE trial of Arensdorf for the muir
der of Rev. Mr.. Haddoek, in Sioux
City, Iowa, resulted in disagreement
of the jury-eleven for aequital and
one for conviction. 1t looks now as if
the saloon power in that saloon-eursed
town would succeed in defeating the
ends of justice, and prevent any con-
viction for that terrible crime. The
blood of the martyred Haddock is not
alone upon the head of the murderer,
but upon all who in any way cooper
ate with the rum power to prevent the
fullest investigation of this dastardly
deed. 1t is hoped that the prosecution
will relax no vigilance in ferreting out
and finally hunting down the perpetra-
tors of the crime.

IN the Northern Ohio letter of this
week, we have the particulars of the
illness of Hon. John r. Buchtel, of
Akron. The sad truth is now before
our readers. The strong man is laid
low with a second stroke of paralysis.
That which adds peculiar sadness is
the fact that Mrs. Buchtel has for
several years been a sufferer from a
similar affection, and is also helpless.
Thousands of our readers will remem-
Der in their prayers to the throne of
grace, this beloved Akron home, once
the center of joyous hospitality, and
the happy retreat of many friends, now
darkened by this double affection.

WE give report this week of the
Pastors Institute, which fills over five
columns, bringing the proceedings down
to Saturday afternoon of last week.
In our next paper the report of Monday
and Tuesday will appear, with an edi-
torial review of the Institute. We
may add just here, that the session has
been one of great interest and profit to
all in attendance, and from first to last
not word has been spoken out of har-
mOny with the occasion. Between fifty
and sixty ministers have been present
during the sessions, and the average at
tendance has been about forty. The
Pastors Institute of 1887 is a signal
and very gratifying success.

I.Social Life in nnr Churches

-
by L. II. Squires. He said: The
church is part of the busy world; it
is one of society's institutions for min
istering to human needs. 1t is, there
fore, human and social institution.
Indeed, religion, especially the form of
religion, known as Christianity, is pre-
eminently social force. In its idea
no part of human nature is thrown
away. All sides of life should be nur-
tured, churches should be incubators !;
not refrigerators. Social Instrumental
tiles should not be allowed to debase
the real object of the church-which is
to nurture the spiritual life. The
church should develop in all under its
influence, sympathetic, cheerful, help
full disposition. Within its sanctuary
dignifed but warm-hearted equality
should reign and rule. Remarks by j.
Coleman Adams and H. L. Garfield
followed.
The Evening Service
was devoted to consideration of mat.
tiers connected with church administra
ton, growing out of Mr.. Gorton's pa
per. Amos Crum presented report
from the Committee, which introduced
the evenings discussion. Remarks were
made by G. E. Nash, L. H. Squires
DR.. Rexford, Mary T. Clark, and Br
Rork, of Portland, Mich.

A SERIOUS accident to Prof J. Clar-
ence Lee, of Galesburg, prevented his
presence and paper at the Institute.
He was thrown from buggy, on Sat-
urday, April 8, and sustained injuries
which were at first alarming to his
friends. We are assured that the Pro-
fessor is now getting along very COM
fortably and that no serious disability
is anticipated. We refrained from men
tioning the accident last week hoping
that more definite report would be
encouraging, as the event proves. We
trust our friend and brother will not be
long on the retired list on account of
this accident.

LOMBARD UNIVERSITY is soon to
publish a paper, containing full &C
count of the school. A circular letter
has been sent to all the ministers in
the Northwest, asking them to send in
the names of the young men and wo-
men who ought to attend college. Many
have complied with this request. 9th
ers have not. Will all those who have
not, do so at once? The paper will
soon be ready for the mail. DR.. Crane
writes that they have now about 4 900
names, and want to increase the num-
Der to 5000. Send in the names with
out delay.

NEW CITY HALL.
Seven Plans for the Building Pre-
sented.

seven Plans for the Building Pre-
| sented.
The Building Committee of the City
! Council met yesterday morning for the
! ! purpose OF opening the plans Tor new
City Hall to be erected on the lot on
Fort street, between Second and Third
streets. There had been sent in seven
sets of plans in answer to the advertise
ment and most of them were neatly
drawn and some were models of excel
lence, but when the ground floors were
examined it was found that the archi-
tects generally had but little idea of the
Importance of some branches of the city
government and an exalted idea of some
of the Others. 1t was generally found
that too little room had been allowed
for the City Surveyors office, and for
the Assessors office, and that too much
had been set aside for other and less inn
portant offices. In some of the plans
the room for the ZaDjero had been
placed in impracticable positions and in
others the arrangements of the commit.
tee rooms was inconvenient. In few
the vaults for the City Clerk are made
too small, but there were four which the
committee thought were worthy of con.
sideration. Just which those four were
will not be made known at present. The
exteriors of all were very attrative
and in various styles, from modern Ro
manesque back to the Baronial castle
style OF France. Some of the designs
were considered to cover too small a
space, thus cnrtailipg the size of the
rooms, but the cost of each was brought
with the limit of $l50000. The com.
mittee will meet again before the next
Council meeting and carefully consider
each and all the plans, and will proba.
report next Monday.

NEW YORK. June 16.-The stock market
was firm to-day. The decision OF tne
Interstate Commerce Commission had
materially reassuring effect, and advices
from Chicago showed things at that centre
in more hopeful state. There were
numerous points sfoat in regard to western
Union, the tenor of most of them being
that opposition to it was shortly to be re-
moved. An increased supply OF bills OF
different kinds caused another drop in
sterling exchange rates, and considerable
talk was heard from fnanciers OF imports
OF gold In the near future. London was
free buyer, which encouraged the operat-
ors to cover their shorts contracts Almost
the entire active list is higher tonight, the
only important exception being Pacific
Mail, which was sold down rapidly in the
last hour upon stories of an establishment
of a new opposition to the company and
stock this evening is down IA per cent.
Lake Erie and Western Preferred, Louis

Western Union are each per cent and
